Singles

 

LMFAO and gang stay at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart for a seventh week with “Party Rock Anthem”, making it now the longest running No.1 single this decade, as the last song to stay at the top this long (or longer) was “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha (9-Nov-09 to 28-Dec-09) which was aloft for eight straight weeks, and was the last No.1 of the last decade. The previous seven week stretch for any song was “Sexy Bitch” for David Guetta and Akon from mid-August 2009 to mid-October 2009 (it had a run of three weeks, the regained No.1 for a further four weeks).

 

With the party still rockin’ at No.1, it puts a hold on Pitbull’s first solo No.1 single again, with his latest track “Give Me Everything” holding at No.2 for a third straight week, and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” also holding, this time for a second week at No.3. The planned Glee episode where the song was meant to be sung will be screened next week due to Oprah’s farewell shows being broadcast in its place here, so maybe next week at No.1 for Adele.

 

Rihanna leapt into the Top 10 last week with her “California King Bed”, this week she halves her Top 10 placement by moving from No.8 to No.4, and this leap pushes Jessie J’s “Price Tag” down a place to No.5 this week. Marvin Priest holds at No.6 with “Own This Club”, whilst also holding still within the Top 10 is “The Lazy Song” for Bruno Mars and “Where Them Girls at” for David Guetta, Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj at No.9 and No.10 respectively. DJ Havana Brown returns to No.7 (up from No.11) with “We Run the Night”, the same place that the track debuted four weeks ago, and dropping three places to No.8 is Snoop Dogg’s “Sweat”.

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: Lady GaGa’s second (third?) album “Born This Way” was released this week, and debuts at No.1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, plus she did a lot of media promotion too, including the just screened Graham Norton Show on ABC2, performing “Judas” (TW-14, up one) and “Born This Way” which jumps back up seven places to No.11, whilst her albums most recent two singles “Edge of Glory” (12 to 38) and “Hair” (20 to 39) drop back down the charts. The other media heavy female of the week was Oprah, and her final three shows, the first of which featured Beyonce performing “Run the World (Girls)”, which has helped propel the single back up the charts twenty-seven places from No.42 to No.15, three places lower than it’s original peak of No.12.

Jessie J looks like she might get a second Top 10 entry as “Nobody’s Perfect” is up four places to No.12 this week. Wynter Gordon is up three places to No.16 with “Til Death”, and flying into the Top 20 at No.19, up eighteen places, are Simple Plan and Natasha Bedingfield with “Jet Lag”. Leaping nineteen places to No.21 is the latest track for Katy Perry, “Last Friday Night (TGIF)”, and up two places to No.22 is Adele’s “Someone Like You”. Also scoring new peaks within the Top 30 are The Black Eyed Peas, up nineteen places to No.25 with “Don’t Stop the Party”, up a single place to a new peak of No.26 is Enrique with “Dirty Dancer”, and after a small move last week, Stan Walker’s “Loud” is up nine places this week to No.27.

The Glee Cast move up a couple of places to No.30 with their version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way”, Tonite Only are up four places to No.42 with “We Run the Nite”, and leaping into the Top 50 at No.37, up twenty-seven places, is Laidback Luke feat Steve Aoki and Lil’ Jon with “Turbulence.

 

The first new taste of Jason DeRulo’s second album “Future History” is the highest new entry of the week; entitled “Don’t Wanna Go Home” it debuts at No.34. The song features a lyrical sample from “The Banana Boat Song” (HP-6, 1957) by Harry Belafonte, and a musical sample from the song “Show Me Love” by Robin S (HP-78, 1994 & Remixed HP-73, 2009). It’s also Jason’s sixth Top 40 appearance, having scored with five singles from his first album; “Whatcha Say” (HP-5, peak Jan 2010), “In My Head” (HP-1, Feb 2010), “Ridin’ Solo” (HP-4, peak June 2010), “what if” (HP-32, peak Aug. 2010) and “The Sky’s the Limit” (HP-22, peak Nov 2010).

 

Lower Top 50: With James Blunt completing his Australian tour late last week, it has helped his two current single to jump back up the charts (not to mention his album too), with “Stay the Night” back up thirty places to No.51, and “If Time is All I Have” re-entering the Top 50 at No.53 to score a new peak. The only other new peaking track of the week goes to former locals Sick Puppies, and their track “Maybe”, which is up nine places to No.54 this week.

 

With Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” album still inside the Top 3 this week, two former singles from the album this week enter the singles chart. “Go Your Own Way” is back in at No.59 (HP-20, peaked April 1977) and back in at No.90 is “Dreams” (HP-19, peaked August 1977).

 

Rapper Wiz Khalifa debuts at No.72 with his second ARIA Singles Chart entry “Roll Up”. His former No.24 single “Black and Yellow” is sitting at No.35 this week. Another artist debuts with a song already in the charts (albeit an appearance as a guest), Benny Benassi debuts at No.77 with his new single “Cinema” featuring vocalist Gary Co. Whilst another act who is currently charting, Nicki Minaj (as a part of David Guetta’s “Where Them Girls at”), debuts at No.99 with her new single “Girls Fall Like Dominoes”.

 

American country trio Rascal Flatts debut at No.76 with their first ever ARIA Chart entry entitled “I Won’t Let Go”, taken from their seventh album “Nothing Like This”.

 

Local DJ’s Dan Murphy and Steve Peach have remixed and Olivia Newton-John has re-recorded her vocals for the 1980 single “Magic” (HP-4, peaked Sept 1980) which she premiered on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ last Sunday night, with all proceeds going to Olivia’s charity, the Melbourne Cancer and Wellness Centre. The single enters at No.79.

 

The third ARIA Singles Chart entry for the Swedish House Mafia is the first new track from their forthcoming as-yet untitled second album, the track entitled “Save the World” debuts at No.82, featuring the vocals of Swedish singer John Martin.

 

The last new entry I want to mention debuts at No.91, “Determinate” by the Lemonade Mouth Cast from the Disney film ‘Lemonade Film’, and with the TV Movie premiering on the Disney Channel here in Australia on May 21st, it has helped this single to enter, whilst the soundtrack album debuts at No.71 too.

 

The charts say goodbye to the 102 weeks running “I Gotta Feeling” from The Black Eyed Peas, now the second longest running Top 100 ARIA Single behind Lady GaGa’s “Poker Face” at 104 weeks.

 

Albums

 

Nothing could stop Lady GaGa from taking the No.1 spot in Australia this week (or the rest of the world), with third album “Born This Way”, and with such media saturation, it was inevitable that the gagites would devour any new material from the new-material girl. “Born This Way” (HP-1, TW-11), “Judas” (HP-6, TW-14), The Edge of Glory (HP-11, TW-38) and “Hair” (HP-20, TW-39) are the first four releases from the seventeen track album (bonus edition), with more new material bound to be released into the much distant future.

 

“Born This Way” is the 632nd No.1 album in Australia (1965-2011), and the eleventh album for 2011 (we hit ninth No.1 this time last year), and Lady GaGa’s second No.1 album after “The Fame Monster” (TW-44) spent four weeks at No.1 during all of April 2010, whilst the first edition of the album “The Fame” (TW-91) hit No.3 in November 2009. The album is the third album with ‘Born’ in it’s title, Jet’s “Get Born” (2 weeks, May 2004) and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” (8 broken weeks from October 1984) being the other two. It’s the eighth album with ‘Way’ in it’s title, the last one being “Down the Way” from Angus and Julia Stone (1 week, March 2010), and only the fourth album with ‘This’, with Motor Ace’s “Shoot This” being the last back in August 2002. “Born This Way” is also the 231st No.1 album by an American artist, and the 88th by a Female performer.

 

So after four weeks at the top, Adele’s “21’ drops back to No.2, pushing last weeks re-entry for Fleetwood Mac, “Rumours” down to No.3. Hitting new peaks within the Top 10 is Jessie J’s album “Who You Are”, up four places to No.4, and thanks to his recent national tour, James Blunt leaps up twenty-one places to a new peak of No.5 (former peak No.8 in Nov 2010) with “Some Kind of Trouble”, whilst his former No.1 album “Back to Bedlam” re-enters at No.54.

 

Bruno Mars holds at No.6 with “Doo-Wops and Hooligans”, The Foo Fighters drop down two places to No.7 with “Wasting Light”, and “Roy” from Damien Leith drops five places to No.8, with The Wombats and “This Modern Glitch” down six places to land at No.10 this week.

 

The second Top 10 entry of the week is at No.9, the debut album for Foster the People entitled “Torches”. Helped by their Triple J exposure here, the California five piece have scored two singles chart entries here already, “Helena Beat” (HP-74, Feb 2011) and “Pumped Up Kicks” (HP-90, Feb 2011).

 

MOVERS & NEW PEAKS: With the DVD release last week of Cher and Christina Aguilera’s film “Burlesque”, the soundtrack shoots back into the Top 50 at No.30, up thirty-five places this week. “The Royal Wedding” album is up one place to a new peak of No.35, and ‘House MD’ actor Hugh Laurie sees his debut album “Let Them Talk” leap forty places to No.37. Debuting at No.89 last week was the Kate Bush collection “The Directors Cut”, which this week leaps a massive forty-eight places to land at No.41, and also re-entering the Top 50, up twenty-four places, is the newly repackaged “Euphoria” for Enrique Iglesias, which would have also risen due to tickets going on sale for his upcoming national tour.

 

Last week we had a classic 70’s album re-enter (Rumours), and this week we have a classic early 80’s album re-entering, due to his a 30th anniversary edition of the album being issued. “Icehouse” by Flowers was released in October 1980, and made it to No.4 nationally, with three Top 20 singles released from it, “Can’t Help Myself” (HP-10, peak August 1980), “We Can Get Together” (HP-16, peak November 1980) and “Walls” (HP-20, peak March 1981). Due to another band being called Flowers, the group changed their name to Icehouse and the rest is history, and now this album re-enters the ARIA Albums chart this week at No.14.

 

Jennifer Hudson was in the country last week to promote her second album “I Remember Me”, which has helped it to debut at No.26 this week. Her debut self-titled album entered, peaked and spent its one week in the Top 100 at No.73 in October 2008.

 

Don't Hold Your Breath has actually had a weird chart run 19-18-18-17-17
